Zandronum

ZandroSpree aims to bring the full Unreal-style killing sprees and multikills (all with announcers) to Zandronum. Multikills occur when getting several kills within a few seconds of one another, and killing sprees are when you get several kills in a row without dying. It includes all multikills and sprees from Unreal Tournament 2004.

This is a revamp intended to replace SkullSpree, built off of a newer version of it that we made for Deathball. We've improved on it even further as well, with bug fixes. You can also now choose between four different spree announcers (totally separate from Zandronum's usual announcer) or even turn them off completely via keys in the control menu.

I really wish it didn't sound like the announcer was orgasming every time you get a holy shit

not having played this, I get the most hilarious and disturbing mental images from this
why does this happen every damn day
whyyyyyy

I could possibly extract the other announcer sounds from UT2k4.

Although the Classic one may have to be mixed with the UT2k3 one because of the missing stuff.
I noticed that was done with those UTJMH mods (UT99 Monsterhunt Players should know).

I may even throw in UT3 sounds.

And if someone is feeling creative, could have a cvar made so you can choose what one you want to use instead of 4 different wads.

It would be cool if someone added the normal male ut2k4 announcer, evil announcer, and ut2k3 announcer. Then made a cvar to change between the 4 announcer voices. Mainly the reason I released this in in hopes someone would improve it. The acs source was not added into Deathball which was the main reason that this was released. This way people can improve on this instead of the messy and buggy code in skullspree.

Updated the main post. Now completely bug free and with multiple announcers!

Couple of suggestions:
Change your scripts to Named scripts (Ie Script "Words" (void)) to avoid conflicts with other wads.
Add a second SpreeVar that allows players to change the volume, so you would change all of these: to I would also use (and SpreeVar2) so that player settings are saved when players disconnect and reconnect.

I don't think named scripts are in Zand yet.

I tested them with skulltag 98d, they actually work... but they have to be ENTER, OPEN, etc., otherwise you can't really use them (unreliable numbering)

"Runaway script 65535 terminated"

As long as it uses the same as Skull Spree, it should be okay, mostly.

Small update! It now saves what spree announcer you are using. This way you won't have to set it every time you play. Thanks Llewellyn.

Fail? Anyway, I'm working on optional colors now if people want.

Does it have "killermanjaro"? I can't remember whether that was an official UT sound or not.

That's from Halo.

Just in case you missed it, the random "double kill" bug is still there as I just experienced it.

Derp, I kinda just copied the text file from something else and edited it. My bad.

Are you sure a projectile didn't kill someone as you respawned or something? I tested this quite a bit and never could get it to happen with the recoded multikills we did.

Yes I'm pretty sure as I checked the obituaries.

*sigh*

the way you're doing this is most definitely NOT the way to go about this - use the DEATH script and SetActivatorToTarget

I'm whipping up some better code right now, by the way (better as in "more managable" - it might not fix the errant double kill, although I severely doubt it)

http://www.mediafire.com/?yk1qu8oq5kapa9r is the custom one that I use that also has medal sounds.

Perm link.. (yes I'm late cause nobody told me about it, and since Wadhost link is currently dead.)
